Ok, so mom hasn't updated everyone on my life in over a month so here goes...I have been a very busy girl. A few weeks ago Mom and Nana took me to a place called "the PARK" to play with my cousins Amaya, Caden, and Jordan. I have gotten used to our "going out" routine but this time Mom put some white lotion on me beforehand which I did NOT enjoy. I was concerned that the lotion was a precursor to what I would experience at "the PARK" so I tried to ask Mom about what I could expect in the car on the way there but apparently she just saw a photo opportunity:
As it turns out, "the PARK" was a blast. I got to do many things I had only heard about from my cousins. I got to swing (I was a little perturbed that Mom and Nana insisted on putting me in the baby swing but I hid it well)
I thoroughly enjoyed the swing even though I felt like I was sitting in a bucket.
I think I enjoyed the swings a bit more than Jordan though. They make him a bit uneasy.
I begged and begged but Mom wouldn't let me go on the slide by myself. *sigh* She probably won't just throw me in the deep end when we go swimming either. She's not a believer in the "sink or swim" theory. In the end though I was happy she was there because it was kind of scary.
I rode a two seater motorcyle with Amaya. At first I was concerened that she wasn't watching the road but than I realized it was stationary. I felt so silly :)
My favorite part of "the PARK" was eating ice cream with Mom. I say ice cream but I actually think it was flavored ice...it was still yummy though. There was gum at the bottom but Mom wouldn't let me have it, I was bummed about that.
The best part was getting to play with my big kid cousins. I am so glad they are starting to see me as one of them and not a baby.
I had so much fun with my cousins at "the PARK" I was thrilled when they invited me to go to a place called "the MUSEUM" One of our first stops was at a place called the Dino Dig where we were to take a brush and dig up dinosaur bones from a giant sand box. At first I was underwhelemd...
Once they put a brush in my hand though, I was a natural. I didn't find anything but I managed to cover myself in sand so I consider that a Dino Dig success!
Next, we went to the children's section and I discovered something wonderous...you may not know that I like buttons and I LOVE buttons that light up. You can imagine my delight when I found a row of big, shiny, brightly lit buttons. Jordan even taught me how to hit them really hard and make a loud sound! I can't tell you how satisfying it was to hit all those bright buttons as many times as I wanted. Mom and Dad are always pulling me away from the little blue buttons under the TV. 
Buttons, buttons, who's got the button?
I had a wonderful time at the museum but I was equally as excited to try my hand at gardening. Nana was planting some beautiful flowers she got for mother's day and I was eager to get my hands dirty.
After a few minutes though I couldn't stand not doing what I had wanted to do since I stuck my hand in that glorious soil. I tried to be sneaky about it but my dratted mom caught me eating the dirt. She wasn't angry though, she just shook her head but I wasn't allowed to garden anymore after that.
After the garden debacle I had to take a bath. I'm really starting to enjoy a nice soak in the tub, especially when I have my plastic spoon to bang loudly and splash water with! I wanted to use Nana's good-smelling bath stuff but Mom won't let me. She insists on using the non-fragrant stuff so I don't get another rash. I tried to explain that beauty is pain but she was so busy taking my picture and laughing at my hair that I don't think she understood.
This month I expereinced a number of new things but I was also introduced to the holiday Mother's Day. Mom explained to me that she wanted me to sign cards for my grandmas and great-grandmas.
After personally yelling my love into all those cards and my usual nightly kinethesics, I was exhausted. I'm not yet old enough to "use my words" and Mom wouldn't put down that confounded camera...even when I was yelling and whining she kept snapping pictures. I included this picture to show everyone what I am subjected to daily.
Well, as my throat is feeling scratchy and it is past my bedtime I think I am going to sign off until another day. I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into my life and I would like to leave you with this one last note.
Don't ever let anyone....wait, what was that?
